What does error code OE mean on a LG dishwasher?

Not draining. The tub isn't fully draining.

Can I fix LG code OE myself?

Start with these safe checks: Wait 30 minutes for the tub to cool, then remove the lower rack, twist out the filter, wash both filter parts under running water and reinstall until it clicks. Check the drain hose under the sink for kinks. If water keeps pooling above the filter, request service.

When should I call a technician for code OE?

If water keeps pooling above the filter, request service. Unplug it or switch the breaker off before you remove any panel. Don't test or replace wiring, control boards, heating elements or motors under power. If you see scorching, smell burning, or the breaker trips again, leave it off and call a qualified appliance technician or electrician.
